Yep, I agree with the previous post. The only time I'm hesitant about handling is if the snake is not eating, sick, or in blue (and even then, it won't hurt them to be handled in blue; they might just be a bit cranky). As far as taking him out of the enclosure, it really helps to just confidently scoop him up. You're more likely to be bitten if you're nervous and hesitant and keep retracting your hand because you're afraid. If you are worried, you can wear a glove or use a snake hook to get him out. If I have a snake that I know is a bit bitey, I like to steadily and slowly put my hand flat on top of him and then scoop him up like a clump of spaghetti.
